About Elizabeth Kew
Elizabeth Kew is a BACP registered integrative counsellor and psychotherapist who offers in-person, online, and phone sessions across the United Kingdom. She holds a BSc in Counselling from the University of East London, a degree accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and her academic research explored her personal experiences with psilocybin and how those experiences influenced her counselling journey.
Elizabeth began her clinical career at Islington Mind, providing tailored, integrative face-to-face counselling for people presenting with complex psychological and emotional needs, including personality disorders, schizophrenia, and autism, as well as identity and LGBTQIA+ related concerns. She also worked as an associate counsellor at St. Mary’s Hospital, offering in-person support to NHS staff in the sexual health clinic, and volunteered with The Listening Place, a charity providing face-to-face support for people in crisis.
With a background in yoga teaching and a strong interest in somatics and the mind-body connection, Elizabeth blends holistic perspectives with psychodynamic, existential, and humanistic approaches. She adapts her integrative practice to each person, listening to their unique story and working at a pace that suits them. Her aim is to help clients identify patterns and themes, deepen understanding of themselves, and move toward a more meaningful and purposeful future with increased choice and growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences, relationships, and unconscious patterns influence current feelings and behaviours. It can help clients gain insight into recurring difficulties and long-standing emotional conflicts by examining underlying themes and attachment patterns.
Existential therapy focuses on meaning, choice, and personal responsibility. It supports people facing life transitions, questions about purpose, grief, and the challenges that arise when reassessing values and identity.
Mindfulness therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations. It can be useful for managing stress, anxiety, and improving emotional regulation through simple, practical practices.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elizabeth will work collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time to ensure the best fit.
Online therapy offers flexible access to registered professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, accommodate different communication styles, and allow people to receive consistent support regardless of location.
